Business Owners – we salute you!

Owning a business is tough! The journey from start up, then growth, and on to final exit can be bumpy and riddled with potholes and sign posts. At some point you realise you’ve fallen down a rabbit-hole where there’s no easy way forward, sideways or out! You have created jobs and opportunities for others. You want to make a difference. You are to be congratulated. Let us help you achieve what YOU want to achieve from your business.

We make your business our business

Welcome to the Little General & Co

Creating Strategies

We help you as a business owner create thorough plans for your business (and often personal) affairs and help you stay accountable for the achievement of your true purpose. You have a unique talent to offer the world. You have a brilliant idea. You want to make a difference. Your business is you. This is why life and business cannot be separated. We only work with people who value family and community. You want to achieve beyondthe daily struggle. You want to push yourself higher than the lifestyle business you’ve created. You want to leave those that you love and respect a legacy.

“Think of it like this …You know how behind every great entertainer or artist there is a great manager making things happen? I am that Manager. I make your business my business. I assemble talented teams around dynamic business people to manage each cycle of their business and ensure they achieve their ultimate purpose” – The Little General

How we will work together

You and whose army? The Little General’s army!

“Those that don’t jump will never fly”

Are you an entrepreneur or a business builder?

Have you been struggling or striving yet not really hitting the mark for profit?
Are you a frustrated employee with a brilliant idea ready to jump ship and invest your time and effort yet don’t have a written plan?

Discover how equipped you are to lead your business through the next stages of growth. Design a business model that is sustainable and provides you a return on your investment. Craft the right infrastructure for implementation. Prepare an itinerary and recruit and train the right crew. Now arm the doors and cross check. Prepare to Take-off!

Identify Value – How much is your business worth?

How much is your business worth? If you needed to sell today – wholly or partially – how much do you want? Will you recoup the blood, sweat and tears? Or are you “selling the farm”. Are you struggling or are you succeeding?

If you go to the bank for a mortgage for a house or unit… do they give you the money you ask for or the value they are will to lend on what a property is worth in the market? Now ask yourself – have you bought yourself a really badly paying job or are you building a valuable asset?

You need to know what your business is worth today. We thoroughly review and assess your business and identify the key drivers of value. We then create a thorough project plan and timeline to maximise the value of your business using the Succession Plus 21-step exit planning process.

Protect, Maximise, Extract & Manage Value

There is no one size fits all solution. Our strategies for your success are bespoke and designed to promote ownership thinking at every level of your organisation.

What opportunities do you have for growth or acquisition? What systems and processes can be improved with technology and automation? How do you retain and engage good employees? How do we increase performance and revenue while maintaining or improving profitability?

How do we proactively plan for “unplannedevents” and reducerisk? How do we ensure business continuity? Proactively plan for Capital Gains Tax.

Nurture potential purchasers of your business and seek sources of funding for strategic buy backs of shares.

Unleash the potential of your workforce through training and tools and help them benefit from the company’s financial success.

Exit Success!

Whether your aim be to build wealth within the business for investment for growth, or other investment strategies;

a lifestyle goal so that you can travel the world while your business provides you ongoing income;

for your legacy to continue to prosper while you seek other challenges in life;

or the ultimate exit from your business from either a total sale or strategic sale over time – we work ourselves out of a job!

You won’t need us forever, in fact – our programs are limited. We aim to empower you, your support circle and your team to ensure you are well placed to face any challenges in life and business without long term reliance on programs or coaches. All the while, we are there in reserve if a call to arms are required.
